SUMATIF TENGAH SEMESTER KELAS XI - GANJIL 2023

When I walked into GreenTech's fancy office, I felt really, really nervous. I'm studying computer stuff, and this was my first job ever. I worried if I could do it. Could I turn what I learned in school into something useful for this company?

On my first day, I met Maya. She's a computer whiz and my guide for the summer. She told me to make a computer thing work better. But the computer stuff looked super hard at first, like a big, confusing puzzle. Maya told me to be patient and never give up.

Then one day, while I was trying to fix a really tricky computer problem, I found a way to make it work better and easier for people to use. I showed my idea to the team with Maya's help. They liked it a lot and said we should use it.

By the end of the summer, I learned a bunch of computer skills, and I also figured out how important it is to work together, have someone to teach you, and believe in yourself. This job wasn't just good for my resume; it changed the way I look at work.

Who is the writer of the story?

Exploring Automation in an Old Workshop

When Ben was a kid, he really liked machines. His grandpa had a place full of tools and papers with drawings, and Ben loved it there. So, when he heard about a workshop on automation happening in his town, he got super excited and wanted to know more. Mixing old-style machines with new automation stuff sounded like a great chance.

The workshop was in a barn that they fixed up. It looked old-fashioned but had cool high-tech things too. Mr. Roberts, a guy who knows a lot about machines, was the teacher. He started by telling them why automation is important today. But what got Ben's attention the most was when they got to do things themselves.

They put people into teams and gave them a challenge: make a machine that could sort different-sized metal balls. It sounded easy, but it was actually pretty hard when they thought about all the things that could go wrong.

Ben and his team got to work with machines making sounds and lots of people excited around them. They used special sensors, wrote some instructions for the machine, and kept testing it. They had to fix it many times, but finally, their machine did a great job sorting the balls.

On the last day, Mr. Roberts said they did a good job and liked how they did things differently. That workshop taught Ben about automation and made him believe even more in mixing old skills with new technology.

What was Ben always interested in from a young age?

In a famous technology company, there was an employee named Mark. Mark was a smart worker but has a tendency to be cunning and irresponsible. He often got things done quickly and didn't pay much attention to small details.

At first, his boss, Mr. Johnson, noticed Mark's intelligence and gave him important projects. However, over time, Mr. Johnson was starting to notice that Mark was often making little mistakes that could have been avoided if he had been more careful.

One of the biggest mistakes Mark ever made was when he made a product delivery mistake to a customer. The product turned out to be unfinished and not fully tested, but Mark was in a hurry to ship it to make it look productive. This results in huge losses for the company and damages the company's reputation in the eyes of customers.

Mark's sneaky acts became more and more frequent, and he also began to be late for work. Mr. Johnson tries to give Mark warnings and advice, but Mark doesn't seem to care. The decision to shirk his responsibilities continues to haunt his performance.

Finally, one day, Mr. Johnson has no other choice and decides to kick Mark out of the company. This decision was not only due to technical errors that often occurred, but also because of Mark's cunning attitude and indifference towards his work.

When Mark was informed of his dismissal, he was shocked and felt it was unfair. However, he eventually realized that he had ruined the precious opportunity and job he was given with his irresponsible attitude.
